Hackathon

Ever thought of turning a wild idea into a real business? Welcome to the Hackathon, where high school students in Delaware County get to do just that. It's not just another school project. It's a battle of wits, creativity, and sheer determination.

The Hackathon is all about solving real-world problems. But here's the twist: you've got a time limit. Teams collaborate intensively, brainstorming and building their way to an innovative solution. And the best part? The winning idea has the potential to become a legit business. Talk about a resume booster!

The challenge is based on a specific industry problem. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to design, build, and pitch the most groundbreaking solution. And then, present it to the bigwigs - the stakeholders.

Mark your calendars, folks. The competition is set for May 11, 2023. And with teams of up to five high schoolers from each school, it's going to be a packed house.

The Delaware County Intermediate Unit is the genius behind this epic event. They're on a mission to empower partnerships for education. And with the Hackathon, they're nurturing the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs.

The Hackathon isn't just a competition. It's a launchpad. A platform for young minds to showcase their brilliance. So, whether you're in it for the glory, the potential business opportunity, or just the thrill of the challenge, one thing's for sure: the Hackathon is where dreams take flight.
